Reviews
‘This video of Truro Cathedral’s 2014 Festival presents Nine Lessons and Carols as an emotionally charged act of worship. The package includes a compelling reconstruction of Bishop Benson’s original 1880 service on a companion audio disc, a fascinating 30-minute documentary about Truro’s part in the Festival’s creation and the carol revival, and a facsimile of Benson’s first ‘Festal Service for Christmas Eve’. The Choir and its music director Christopher Gray give life to a release filled with insights into the Festival’s deep history.’ BBCMusic, Christmas 2017
‘The video is beautifully produced with stunning photography and splendid singing from the choir. A great stocking-stuffer for your Anglican friends! ’ American Record Guide November 2017
‘A treasurable insight into the development of a quintessentially English tradition’ BBC Music Christmas 2016
‘The 15 boy trebles and 12 adult lay vicars and choral scholars of the choir, led by Christopher Gray, represent the finest of the English choral tradition and can proudly claim the same level of excellence that their colleagues at King’s have shown over the years.’ The American Organist August 2021
‘…all in all this is a splendid celebration of the Cornish origins of a unique English Christmas institution – and a celebration, too, of the strength of the institution in Truro nearly 140 years later.’ MusicWeb November 2016
